The work can be tough, but I work with some of the best gals out there. I really appreciate all the support I have received from you ladies over the last year or so, its been wonderful. There will have to be some changes to my exercise time, but it has proven to work just fine these last two days. I am up to two full miles without taking a walking break, what a surprise! I find that running helps me work out my aggression and stress. Maybe feeling physically tired is more justifiable in my mind, than just being plain unhappy and stressed. Make sense? Anyways, things are going great! Praise God!
Now for the not so great news... My transmission on my car is going to need a complete work up :(( I took it in when I noticed I wasn't shifting out of 2nd gear without watching my RPM's shoot up into the 5 or 6's.. not good. I had the entire transmission replaced two years ago and didn't have it checked for maintenance after the first 1000 miles, oops. Now the entire 4th gear is burned up making it tough for the car to run in 3rd, 4th and even 5th gear. I found this out today. Maybe that's why I was able to run successfully after a long day at work... So now it's time to start looking for a newish used car, this also makes me stressed. God is faithful though, this could not have happened at a better time because I just got a pay raise at work!! Amen, I know things will be ok! Please be in prayer though, I would like to move out at the end of this year pending that I still have a nest egg to speak of.
So, after I passed my test my sister Sophie, Auntie Tammy and mom took me out to dinner!! We went to the restaurant in the Angel of the Winds Casino and it was yummy! I had the smoked seafood alfredo with the artichoke dip for an appetizer, both were delightful!
We had a great time!
Last week, Sophie and I treated Conner and Isabel to a movie day! We went to see Tangled and they loved it!! Conner has been found to be a movie talker and Isabel gets antsy after about the 1st hour, but we had a blast. I will say though, the movies have become super expensive. On a Monday matinée for two kids and two adults the total cost was 31 dollars! Maybe I haven't been to the movies in a while, but that seemed nuts to me. They had fun though, so it was well worth it.
Picking the candy for their kids meals :)
Lastly, my little Toddie is growing up so fast! His dad has been taking him to the skate park in Monroe and says Todd has skills :) He rides his bike all the way there and then is fearless! What a sweetheart he is. I love watching the interaction between my two kids. Isabel is the older, helpful and teach like sister, while Todd is the quiet, interested and very caring younger brother. They are the best part of my day!!
Sophie had a check up on Monday and everything is on schedule with the baby. Heart beat is strong and the morning sickness is waring off, so there is more excitement in the air here. What a praise report!
XOXO
